Natasha places an online order for plate holders to display her antique plates. She chooses a specific site because it has a promotional offer of 15% off on all purchases. She orders 3 large holders for $4.95 each, 2 medium holders for 3.25 each and 2 small holders for $1.75 each. There is no sales tax on her purchase, but she must pay a flat rate of $5.35 for shipping and handling. What is the total of Natasha's online purchase?
The holders cost 3 × $4.95 + 2 × $3.25 + 2 × $1.75 = $24.85 before the discount. A 15% discount is $3.7275, leaving $21.1225; adding $5.35 for shipping gives $26.4725, which rounds to $26.47. The correct choice is $26.47.
